The game is slated to be broadcast on ESPN+, with radio coverage available via the Gators Sports Network from Learfield.

During the game, four quarters will be played, with a 15-minute halftime break. The clock will run continuously, except for the final four minutes of each half, where it will stop for penalties, changes of possession, and scoring plays. Each team will be supported by its own offensive, defensive, and special teams coaching staff, along with various support personnel such as strength and conditioning coaches, nutritionists, equipment managers, recruiting staff, operations personnel, video analysts, sports medicine specialists, and academic advisors.

Key points to note:

• The Blue team will be led by returning starting quarterback Graham Mertz, while DJ Lagway will helm the Orange team. Clay Millen is listed on both rosters. It's anticipated that Lagway will start for the Orange team, although the depth chart for the spring has not been released, leaving uncertainty regarding the distribution of playing time between Lagway and Millen, the latter of whom joined Florida after a season at Colorado State.
  

• The Orange team comprises Florida's second-string offense paired with the first-team defense, while the Blue team consists of UF's first-team offense coupled with the second-team defense.
  

• Despite being limited or absent during spring practice, several players are included on the rosters. Their level of participation on Saturday remains uncertain. Notably, linebacker Myles Graham, who underwent a back procedure, is listed on the Blue team roster. Offensive tackle Austin Barber, recovering from a shoulder injury, is also on the Blue team roster, alongside EDGE players Justus Boone and linebacker Derek Wingo, as well as wide receiver Andy Jean. It's unclear if these players will be able to participate in the game. Additionally, players like Jordan Castell, Trikweze Bridges, Asa Turner, DJ Douglas, Bryce Thornton, and Gregory Smith III are divided between the two teams, with Castell and fellow safeties Bridges and Turner listed on the Orange team, while Douglas, Thornton, and Smith III are on the Blue team.
  

• The Blue team will feature first-team specialists including kicker Trey Smack, punter Jeremy Crawshaw, and long snapper Rocco Underwood.
  

• Players expected to participate for both teams include offensive lineman Mark Pitts, quarterback Clay Millen, linebacker Deuce Spurlock, EDGE Tyreik Norwood, and safety Josiah Davis.
